Oak Springs Golf Club is tucked away amid the rolling hills and wooded plains of St. Anne. Though it feels peacefully secluded, it's conveniently situated less than an hour from Chicago. As one of the premiere golf courses in Kankakee County, it has a layout that appeals to players of all skill levels and it's also one of the most affordable rounds in the area. There are some challenging holes but the rough is very forgiving in case hitting it straight isn't one of your strengths. The front nine features fairways lined with mature trees and there are some tough par 3s to contend with. The more player-friendly back nine at Oak Springs Golf Club is wide open and offers some great scoring opportunities. There are subtle but tricky undulations throughout and you'll also run into water occasionally.

Super slow

I am on the course now and not moving. Super slow! They need a ranger.

Need a ranger

Course is nice. Great layout. Pace of play was too slow. They need a ranger as the hackers don’t understand course etiquette. Sand bunkers need lots of work.

An enjoyable round

It's a short course, and has some straightforward holes. But there are also some tricks here, and a few difficult holes. #8 is a long par 3 over water. The green on #15 is crazy, with a massive slope and table top at the back. A lot of small greens that require precision. Some tight drives on the holes with old large oak trees, and OB boundary is tight on several holes. Greens were in great shape. Pace of play was great. Enjoyable round.

Cheap but not great course

It was only $30 for 18 with a cart on a Saturday, but the course was not in great shape. The ground was rock solid, the greens were rock hard from being worked on recently, and there were leaves everywhere even though they don't have many trees. It just wasn't the most enjoyable course to play.

Have always loved this course.

Oak Springs has always been a good course. If you keep it in the fairways you will score well. If not you're in trouble.

great course

Front is really challenging...lots of tree's and position is important. Back nine more open and plenty of opportunities to score. Course well taken care of and clubhouse has good food at a reasonable price. Nice driving range and carts are well taken care of. Friendly staff tops off this review. Enjoy!!

Owner

We had 6 people in our group ( 2 new to golf)and was told we could play just let people play past us The owner came up to us on hole one and said no more the 4 per hole and proceeded to follow us on hole one. Now let me be clear there were zero and I mean zero people behind us very frustrating. Will not come back as his attitude was let’s just say very in professional.
